Abstract
Nine phenylmercuric acetate-tolerant bacterial strains, isolated from the Chesapeake Bay were found to produce metallic mercury from phenylmercuric acetate using a flameless atomic absorption spectro-photometer on-line with a bioreactor. Tolerance levels of one Pseudomonas strain to 10 metal ions were reported. Nonbiological methylation of a number of aquated methylated metal cations were studied using nuclear magnetic resonance and laser Raman spectroscopy.
